Daqin: The poorest prime minister, the first emperor begged me to corrupt

Chapter 86
Qin Mo feasted on seafood at sea, and Ying Zheng's patrolling Yujia, but in order to find him, he didn't move his nest for dozens of days.

The mobilized soldiers from the four counties also ate up their own food and fodder. Seeing that the winter is over and the new year is coming.

Fortunately, Daqin celebrates the new year in October in late autumn and early winter, and there is no habit of celebrating the new year at the end of the twelfth lunar month...

Otherwise, this year would be too panicky!

In the big tent of Yujia's camp, Ying Zheng was having a meal accompanied by Yuan Man and Baiguan. The food was not rich, but rice cakes.

"In the past, when Qin Qing was here, on the occasion of the Chinese New Year, he would definitely spend a extravagant time, prepare gifts and visit the military officials in North Korea, Chinese and Chinese. Even I will receive visits and gifts."

"And among the gifts Qin Qing brought, there must be such food called rice cakes."

"I always refute Qin Qing, the year is in October, and this rice cake should be eaten in October, but Qin Qing doesn't think so, and will still use this rice cake as a gift in the next Chinese New Year..."

Ying Zheng was eating sticky and soft rice cakes, and told Yuan Man beside him about interesting things about Qin Mo.

The next leader sat with all the officials and listened quietly, with a look of reminiscence on his face, and he couldn't help but smile.

In fact, Ying Zheng was not the only one who refuted Qin Mo's weird naming method. All the officials who had received rice cake gifts more or less expressed their dissent.

Moreover, ever since Qin Mo became the prime minister, he has been adhering to the way of being alone and taking good care of himself. Even in a year, he only walked with all the officials once. It's hard not to let people remember it!

Ying Zheng's narration gradually came to an end, and the big tent fell silent, only the voices of the characters chewing rice cakes were left.

In the end, even the sound of chewing disappeared completely, and the big tent fell into dead silence!
bang——

hula-

Ying Zheng kicked over the table suddenly, with a ferocious look on his face: "Chuan Zhao, the crown prince and Tong Wuhou each receive ten lashes!"

All the officials shrank their necks together, thinking: Here we come, here we come again!

Is this the first time the prince and Tongwuhou have been flogged?

If Qin Xiang is no longer found, the crown prince and Tong Wuhou will have to be beaten to death.
But what is desperate is that the search area has now expanded to a radius of five hundred miles, and there is still no news of Qin Mo...

"Here."

Zhao Gao raised his hand and hurried out to give orders.

Yuan Man asked the waiter to fix the table, put rice cakes on again, and advised: "Father, it's not that my brother and Tong Wuhou are not doing their best, so don't punish them too severely."

"My son heard that Marquis Tong Wu has been working hard for a long time, and he has already suffered from a serious illness. If this continues, he may not be able to find Prime Minister Qin, but Marquis Tong Wu will die first!"

Wang Ben, Marquis of Tongwu, is also an old coffin board over sixty years old. He has been working hard and being whipped these days, and he may have stepped into the ground sooner than his father Wang Jian.

Seeing that the eldest princess had started, all the officials hurriedly said in unison: "Your Majesty accepts the advice of the eldest princess, and is sympathetic to the difficulty of Tong Wuhou."

Ying Zheng took a deep breath, calmed down his irritability, and snorted coldly, "I have an edict for a long time, and I can't find Qin Qing to come to see you!"

"Even the crown prince, if Qin Qing can't be found, he doesn't have to come back. Without Qin Qing's assistance, he... hum!"

Ying Zheng didn't say what he said later, but the meaning was self-evident.

He asked Fusu to follow Qin Mo out of the fortress before, in order to pave the way for Fusu's future and build a friendship between the two.

Because he really intended to let Qin Mo go free, to carry out snow storage in a disguised form, and leave it to Fusu for future appointment, but the situation in Baiyue land changed drastically, and his plan had to be delayed.

But this delay was a big change. If Qin Mo really couldn't find him, he was really worried about handing over his ancestor's foundation to Fusu.

In the eyes of others, Fusu is resolute and brave.

But in Yingzheng's eyes, the so-called fortitude is ignorant and flexible, and it is a taboo for kings!

And this point has also been confirmed. A fake edict was sent to Fusu, and Meng Tian saw that something was wrong, and advised him to verify it before he died. Had to die' bullshit, then soar up in place...

All in all, Qin Mo is the important minister selected by Yingzheng to "tuogu". Without Qin Mo, Fusu, an orphan, is also open to discussion!

……

Most of the officials could understand Ying Zheng's intentions, and after secretly grinning, they turned their eyes to Yuan Man again.

For the current plan, only the eldest princess can speak.

Because she is not only brother and sister with Fusu, but also has a relationship with Qin Mo, a relationship that Ying Zheng recognized and tried to promote, so it is perfect for her to continue to take the lead in persuading her!
Yuan Man felt the eyes of all the officials, but he was as irritable as Laozi Yingzheng in his heart.

She was even more irritable than Ying Zheng, and she already felt hopeless.

She and Qin Mo may not have a deep relationship, but at that time, she secretly hooked up with Qin Mo, on the one hand, out of a certain psychology, and on the other hand, she also recognized Qin Mo.

She hopes to use Qin Mo to break out of the imperial cage, and also find her own life in Qin Mo.

Otherwise, the majestic eldest princess, why bother to engage in those things that are not available?
But now, everything is about to come to nothing. Qin Mo's disappearance also shattered her expectations for the future.

It is undoubtedly cruel to see hope, but to be shattered!
She no longer has the heart to bear the righteousness of her family and country, the persuasion just now is the limit of what she can do!
Tread-tap-

When there was a dead silence in the tent, there was suddenly the sound of rushing horseshoes outside.

Immediately, a knight with a command flag on his back rushed into the tent, and before he had time to catch his breath, he crossed his arms and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, there may be news from Prime Minister Qin."

Ying Zheng was overjoyed: "Tell me carefully."

Yuan Man and Baiguan were also shocked, staring at the knight.

"This morning, the county magistrate of Peixian asked to see the crown prince and Marquis Tongwu, saying that the daughter of a family in his county was kidnapped by a group of gangsters by the river."

"At that time, the county magistrate was in charge of the county government. He thought it was an ordinary water thief, so he only summoned the remaining officials in the county to look for it."

"Until the day before yesterday, officials found out that a group of merchants with a Korean accent had bought fishing boats from local fishermen in the Weishan Lake area and headed east along the river."

"The calculated time coincides with the time when the woman was taken away, also coincides with the time when Prime Minister Qin disappeared, and also coincides with what the visitor Yu said that the traitor is an old Korean clan!"

The knight narrated and told the whole story.

Ying Zheng clapped his fists angrily: "Going eastward with the current must have entered the sea, why didn't I expect that?!"

Some of the officials comforted: "Your Majesty, don't blame yourself, the rebels flowed into the sea, it must be a thousand miles a day, even if your majesty issued an order to block the waterway, the edict may not be able to catch up with the rebels."

"On that day, Marquis Tong Wu also sent troops to search along the waterway, but they didn't find any trace of Prime Minister Qin. Presumably, the rebels escaped too fast!"

Wang Ben sent troops to search along the waterway, but the guards he sent out were all descendants of Guanzhong, who could not speak the language of the local people, so they could find a hammer.

Zhang Liang's escape ability is really extraordinary, he has already considered all aspects.

Ying Zheng waved his hand: "If we could have predicted the enemy early and sent out to sea, we might not have been able to catch up with the rebels. It's too late now."

"I don't know if the traitor took Qin Qing to Baiyue? Or somewhere else?"

Yingzheng pondered for a moment, then cheered up again and said: "I pass on the imperial edict, the soldiers of the four counties will disperse, and they will all be exempted from corvee service next year."

"In addition, to summon the world, especially the counties and counties along the river, my reward will remain the same. If you can find the prime minister of Qin, the reward will be cashed immediately. Marquis of Guannei, ten thousand taels of gold, ten thousand cattle and sheep..."

"Furthermore, if you conscript the loyal soldiers from southern Chu and enter Baiyue to look for Qin Qing, no matter whether you can find Qin Qing or not, even if you die in Baiyue, I will reward you as a fifth-class noble!"

"Here."

Zhao Gao bowed his hand to accept the order.

Yuan Man and Baiguan had mixed feelings of joy and sorrow.

The joy is that there is a rebel whereabouts.

The worry is whether Qin Mo can be rescued? !
……

……

Sailing at sea is boring, there is no doubt about it.

Zhang Liang and his vassals, including the grieving Hengyang Lord's vassals, were almost insanely bored these days, and the grief seemed to have been diluted a lot by the boredom.

But as Qin Mo woke up and gradually recovered, the boring days were gone forever.

Qin Mo is not only good at cooking food, but also good at playing.

Mahjong, Pai Gow, poker, and even Werewolf Killing have all come out!
Even if he doesn't like to play games, he can still tell stories, such as "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Outlaws of the Marsh", and everyone is mesmerized by it, to the point of forgetting to eat and sleep!

"Cut your hair and read poetry and books, cultivate morality and self-cultivation, look up and look down, and keep your strategy in mind!"

"Gonggen has never forgotten to worry about the country, who knows that the blood is in the mountains and forests, the phoenix is ​​like the phoenix, and the phoenix is ​​thinking about it, and it is always pondering when the world is in turmoil... The phoenix and the phoenix are thinking about it, and the world is in turmoil.

"The thatched hut bears three visits, discusses with one's knees, meets a confidant in half a lifetime, and feels very lucky to be stung. In the Ming Dynasty, you will go with the king with a sword, and go on the journey with a feather fan and a scarf!"

"Dragon, dragon, wind and cloud meeting, with a long roar, relax your arms, go back, go back, my long-cherished wish, go back, go back, my long-cherished wish, I will be a villager for the rest of the year, the breeze and the moon are in my arms, the ape and the crane listen to me again Playing the piano...this is Zhuge Liang's lifelong ambition!"

Qin Mo talked about visiting the thatched cottage three times, and Zhuge Liang was about to go out of the mountain, talking and singing, talking about spit and stars flying around, and the last froth on the corner of his mouth: "If you want to know what will happen next, let's listen to the next chapter to break it down."

"Well, it's time to eat."

"I'm going to cook. Today is the beginning of the new year. Let's eat more!"

Qin Mo got up, put on his apron, and went to work on the food, Lu Zhi also hurried to help.

But Zhang Liang and a group of swordsmen were sitting on the deck, still reminiscing about the story of Qin Mo just now.

"This Zhuge Liang has a strategy in mind, and this time he comes out of the mountain, the revival of the Han Dynasty is expected."

"To end the war and still be a citizen of Longmu, you really are a wise man!"

"Well, how do I feel, this Zhuge Liang is a bit like Jun Hou himself?"

The greedy retainer looked at Qin Mo's busy back and said dumbly.

Hearing this, Zhang Liang also suddenly said: "It is indeed very similar to Junhou himself, this kind of ambition is admirable."

"Humph~!"

Lord Hengyang's retainers, seeing Zhang Liang and his retainers praising Qin Mo, immediately snorted in displeasure.

They also planned to reach Baiyue, join Han Cheng's heirs, and kill Qin Mo to avenge Han Cheng.

But Zhang Liang and his retainers are getting closer to Qin Mo these days, which makes them very dissatisfied!
……

Zhang Liang and his retainers looked at each other when they heard their groans, but they were not angry, they just asked: "Everyone, don't you admire your lord?"

Lord Hengyang's retainers and guests snorted coldly again.

However, more than half of them snorted coldly and looked at Qin Mo with a hint of admiration.

They got along with Qin Mo day and night these days, and Zhang Liang and his group were beating and drumming beside them to say good things, enumerating Qin Mo's great achievements.

What kind of high-yield grains are promoted, so that the world will no longer have to worry about famine.

What to attack the Xiongnu and put an end to the troubles of the barbarians that have threatened China for hundreds of years.

What Shixing benevolent government rectified the administration of officials so that the people could live and work in peace and contentment.

All these things seem to make Qin Mo a saint!

Lord Hengyang's retainers also lived on the land of China and ate whole grains, so it was inevitable that they would feel admiration.

To put it bluntly, the grains and vegetables that they and their wives and children eat are all high-yield grains and vegetables promoted by Qin Mo, and they are all benevolent.

Even though I hated him for killing Hengyang Jun in my heart, but in the end...it's hard not to admire him!

"Zhang Liang, what's the use of saying this, don't you want to avenge Lord Hengyang?"

Some of Hengyang Jun's retainers replied that they seemed to be questioning Zhang Liang, but in fact they were strengthening their belief in revenge.

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Zhang Liang remained silent.

Let the retainers of Lord Hengyang answer the questions in their hearts.

"Come, come, play cards. Today I just listen to stories. I lost [-] yuan yesterday, and I haven't gotten it back yet. I have to make up for everything."

"Yes, take out all the engraved cards."

Zhang Liang's retainers shouted to greet everyone.

Lord Hengyang's retainers no longer struggled with themselves, and said hesitantly: "If you want to make money, let's do your daydream, and I will win you another five hundred dollars today."

The brief confrontation between the two sides disappeared in an instant, and everyone began to gamble and gamble.

While Qin Mo was busy, he turned his head and looked.

He knew that no matter how much Zhang Liang and his retainers flattered him, Lord Hengyang's retainers might admire him, but his intention of killing himself to avenge Lord Hengyang would never change.

In the final analysis...life, you still have to fight for yourself!
Zhang Liang seemed to be aware of his gaze, and suddenly turned his head to meet his eyes.

Qin Mo nodded with a smile to express his gratitude, and then continued to work on himself.

But Zhang Liang left the gambling table, walked towards him and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty's thoughts, Liang also knows well."

"But please don't put it into action, so that this group of righteous men will not die in vain at sea!"

Qin Mo pretended not to understand: "You're just flattering me. Even if I have the means, now that I'm shackled, I can't walk, I can't move my arms, what can I do to you?"

Zhang Liang pointed to the endless sea road: "Although Zhang Liang grew up in Korea, he traveled with his companions to study in his early years, and he also went boating on the sea and had fun with fishermen."

"Although seafood is delicious, there are many people who can't eat it, just like the puffer fish, which can be found in both fresh and sea water, but if you eat it, you will die suddenly!"

Qin Mo raised his eyebrows, was speechless for a while, and finally said helplessly: "You don't kill me, but I will die because of you. You are really... awkward!"

Zhang Liang looked back and saw that everyone's attention was on the game, so he lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty is confused, although the servants of Lord Hengyang want to kill you, they are also changing their perception of you."

"After getting along day and night, even if I still want to kill you in the future, I can't help feeling sorry."

"And on this ship, I am always respected. Those who watch over the king are also my retainers and guests."

"When Jieshi was about to reach Minyue, I asked my retainers to take Junhou ashore first. I only said that Junhou jumped into the sea and died on his own. His bones are hard to find."

"Even if they have doubts in their hearts, I'm afraid they don't want to pursue it!"

Qin Mo raised his eyebrows again. With such cleverness, the method he came up with was very feasible.

However, he lowered his head and worked for a while, but then said: "You are not afraid that you will have a rift with them in the future. They will tell Han Cheng's heirs about the doubts in their hearts. At that time, Han Cheng's heirs will most likely not forgive you!"
